- Abstract
Scientists say we easily could warm the atmosphere by 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century—and if you call up a scientist like Stefan Rahmstorf, a professor of ocean physics from Germany’s Potsdam University, he’ll say ominous things like this: “Even limiting warming to 2 degrees, in my view, will still commit some island nations and coastal cities to drowning.” In other words: See ya, Marshall Islands.
